Raja Bell has officially retired from the NBA.

Bell was a two-time All-Defensive team member and he finishes his career with averages of 9.9 points and 2.8 rebounds per game. The 37-year-old father of three is ready to focus on his family and prepare for his post-NBA life, and he's already begun doing color commentary for ESPN. His defensive tenacity and clutch 3-point shooting will be fondly remembered by fans of the six teams he played for during his 12-year career. Thu, Feb 13, 2014 04:49:00 PM

Raja Bell reportedly worked out with the Knicks on Monday and "could receive consideration for a roster spot."

According to RealGM.com, the 36-year-old Bell "shot well and outplayed New York's incoming rookies." He hasn't played in an NBA game since March 2012, and he won't have fantasy value even if he latches onto a team's bench. The Bulls have also been in contact with Bell. Tue, Jul 9, 2013 09:20:00 AM

Thus ends a months-long stalemate between Bell and the Jazz, who had no intention of playing him but also didn't want to pay him his annual salary only to see him sign with the Lakers or another team competing for the playoffs. For the record, Bell was bought out too late to be eligible for the playoffs this year. Sun, Mar 10, 2013 11:58:00 AM

His agent said all along that Bell would not be bought out, which was really a telling sign considering he'd want to appear to be available to other teams. Bell reportedly opted not to take the buyout because he couldn't find another team to pick him up. He has no fantasy value. Fri, Mar 1, 2013 08:24:00 PM

Rodney Hood (shoulder) said that his absences during the summer league were for precautionary reasons.

"I wanted to play every single day," Hood said. "The training staff (didn’t) want me to play until I’m 110 percent. They understand that, even though summer league is important, the season is way more important. Obviously, I wanted to be out there competing, but I know there is a bigger picture in mind." Hood only managed to stay healthy for 50 games during his rookie season, so any injury will be a little worrying for prospective owners. Hood showed a ton of improvement when he did take the court this summer, but his path to regular minutes could be complicated by the return of Alec Burks.

Carrick Felix suffered a fractured patella and will be out indefinitely.

He's caught some really bad breaks in his two-year career. Felix is a bit like Corey Brewer for likely to do work in transition, but he's going to have a tough time getting playing time with all of these injuries.
